If you are making small things like candy canes, doll fingers, small legs or arms for your dolls, there is a WONDERFUL tool that EVERY single crafter needs……It is called a “Turn It All” …..It is so great for crafting!!!! This can be purchased from http://www.primitivecupboard.com .....You can also get some hemostats! They are a doll makers best friend for turning those small parts as well ;)....……Another nifty little tool for crafting is a “Stuffing Fork”…… This can be purchased from http://www.barbarawillisdesigns.com/supplies.html Or you can do a search for them on eBay as well…..Sometimes you’ll be able to find them!

Every now and then I'll add a little tip or trick here ............Here is today's tip for you Primitive Crafters out there!!!!

**Tip: You can spray your finished product with primitive room sprays, too! Your customers will LOVE getting something that smells good!! You can get all kinds of primitive room sprays on eBay! Below are some sources that I have used for room sprays in the past…….

I know it has been a few days since I blogged........it's been terrible weather here....one day it is hot, the next day it is freezing weather...so I am getting kinda sick.....BUT I am having to MAKE myself work! I have so many new ideas, and not enough time, or energy lately to get any of them finished...............It is also sad, girls, you NEVER know who your friends are on here.....don't let them fool you...and don't be too free with your tips or secrets, they take them and run and never even acknowledge you again....However you KNOW they are watching you, since they make everything you do, and call it their own....It is actually FUN to watch ;)......Karma.............................it will get them everytime ;)Now.........enough of that :)............I will never call names or backstab, I don't have time for that........I am honest and hard working, and I am here for my customers!!!! ALWAYS :) Here is a new finished doll I've designed, and I also finished a pattern for him too........Meet Bumble Bee Bear.....;)......You'll just love this sweet, VERY VERY VERY PRiMiTivE Bee Bear!!
